Angelica couldn't believe that her father threatened to throw her out of her home and not seeing her brother. She knew he could be ruthless sometimes, but this was a whole new level of being heartless. What would she do now?
She turned in bed, unable to sleep.
"Is something wrong?" William asked who was sleeping next to her.
"No," she lied.
Even though she was facing the other way, she could tell that her brother didn't believe her.
"Is father forcing you to marry Sir Shaw?"
"Yes," she replied.
He was quiet for a long moment. "I told you, we are better without him."
Angelica turned around, disturbed by his comment.
"William, he is only doing what he thinks is best for me. Truth is, I need to get married." She explained.
"Then he should find someone you are content with."
That was the problem. She was never content.
"It is taking too long to find someone I am content with and father is getting concerned."
